Welcome to my chamber, said the scammer to the victim. “Barrister George White” has an ATM card for you that is worth a fortune. What could be better? Too bad “Barr. White” is just another African scammer trying to pick your pocket.

I am here to inform you that your ATM Visa Card package requested long ago has finally been released for your claim. My meeting with the government officials at the Annual Meeting held early January 2016 revealed that your name was among those whose packages were seized by the government authority.

The president has issued a statement to the general public most especially, government representatives and barrister’s to take charge of these seized packages for delivery to their respective owners and beneficiary’s. Otherwise the present of the beneficiary will be needed to lay claims on their package without representative. So if you can come, I will send the message across on your arrival but if note I will be on ground to represent you get this package released at once.

It is with joy and gladness in my heart to inform you that i will be your barrister presenting you at the government quarters to help lay claims on this ATM VISA CARD package which was proof to be valid with the sum of US$6,800,000.00 cash programmed inside the ATM VISA CARD by the African Bank Worldwide as endorsed by the president.

We have successfully obtained your file from the government quarters and a document issued by the president has also been obtained which I will send to you along with your ATM Visa card.

We have contacted a reliable Courier Delivery Service who will convey the package safely to your personal home. Note that your complete delivery information will be needed by the courier service to enable them deliver the package to you without delay

Having provided this information, you will be contacted further by the courier delivery agent to process the delivery of your ATM visa card.

Please on no account should you reveal the amount of money installed in the card to the delivery company to avoid seizing action or delay in getting the package across to you.

i wait for your humble reply for more directives

Thank you and have a wonderful please i wait on your reply

Regards

Barr. George White

Because scammers know that you know there are lots of scams online, one strategy they sometimes use is to pretend to be offering reparations and refunds to people who may have been scammed in the past. This is a type of meta-scam: a scam about scams. The example below claims to be providing compensation for scam victims — but there is no compensation: that’s the scam.

This is to acquaint you on the outcome of our 1 day meeting with U.N International Financial Investigation Unit and the Association of Better Business Bureau to compensate scam victims upon due verification, we have jointly approved US$ 55.5m (FIFTY FIVE MILLION, Five hundred thousand United States Dollars) for every confirmed victim. Your E-mail address was generated through the computer ballot system as one of the selected victim to receive this compensation. However, adequate arrangement has been put in place to upload the approved payment compensation into a Platinum Card that can be accessible at any inter-switch cash machine anywhere in the world. Finally; for the purpose of proper verification of your claims, it is imperative that you furnish us with the following of your details necessary to process release/remittance of your payment:

TAKE NOTE; the compensation is free of any illegal threat, as its confirmed by the international monetary department. the UN-nations has mapped out this fund to be delivered to you,, so your fund is in care of the inter-switch master card company, they have been giving the contract and the permission to load your fund into an ATM master card, which you can use to make an online transfer. they are now the only reliable company so far that the UN has entrusted with this huge project to carry out your fund transfer processing, since the inability of the uba banks and other banks, both the dhl, FedEx. ups to make a smooth fund transfer and delivery.. the united nations has now entrusted the INTER-SWITCH MASTERCARD COMPANY…to take charge of your fund transfer and they will also be in-charge of the delivery.

every expense has been made for the safe delivery of your ATM master card, so you will contact them and make a choice of the names you will like it to be on the master card. also they will demand for $85 for the processing of your master card. this will be all that will be required of you, and no one will ever demand for any fees from you until you receive your master card. then the company will deduct 12% for the expenses, upon the activation of your master card.

the UN will activate your card once its in your possession, a picture of you will be taking with the card when its delivered to you for confirmation.,. you don’t have to worry for any incurred fee or damage. the inter-switch company will make this delivery a success…..

You are advised to contact the above bank with your information to enable your fund processed and released to you within the stipulated time frame.

Cordially,

Some scammers are so disorganized they can’t even get their scam messages straight. In this example, “Rev. Franklin Moore” has an ATM card for you that is worth (ready?) four dollars and fifty cents! That’s quite an inducement! Actually, the scammer probably meant to type $4.5 Million, but just didn’t get it right. A lesson to scammers everywhere: always proofread your scams!

I have paid for the Insurance & Delivery fee. The only fee you have to pay is their Security fee $150 Please indicate the registration Number and ask Him how to pay their Security fee of $150 so that you can pay it immediately.

Best Regards,
REV.Franklin Moore

The scammer says there is a bank card ready to be delivered to you, and it will have a fortune charged up on it! Unfortunately, if you make the mistake of replying, you’ll find you have to send “transit fees” or “bank taxes” before your card can be released, and then if you make the bigger mistake of paying, the scammer will disappear with your money, never to be heard from again.

Email scammers routinely use the names of real people to try to make their scam messages sound legitimate. The message below, which was probably sent randomly to tens of thousands of people this week, claims to be from “Jack Lew.” There is a real Jack Lew who is a US government official, but the real person has nothing to do with this message — the scammers are just using that name to trick their victims.

In reality, this is nothing but an old-fashioned “advance fee fraud” and the sender is someone trying to pick your pocket by promising you a fortune. Share this scam alert with your friends on Facebook and Twitter and don’t fall into the trap!

Important Note

Please be aware that scammers often use the names of real people and legitimate businesses in their fraudulent messages. Why? To lend an air of legitimacy to their criminal enterprise. Just because the name of a real person or a real bank or a real government agency appears in a scam message that doesn't mean the person or organization in question is involved in the scam in any way. The scammers are just stealing these names in order to make themselves look legitimate.
